Overview
In Upvise, you are able to manage can complete Pre-starts and equipment maintenance directly from the mobile application. You can create your own custom daily pre-start checklists which can be filled in by your operators at the start of the day before operating the plant. At the time you complete pre-starts, you have the ability to can record punch items (defects). Based on the maintenance intervals defined by you, you can get alerts when maintenance is overdue
You can define maintenance intervals per Equipment Category, maintenance intervals can have 2 dimensions a time-based dimension and a usage-based dimension. The usage dimension can be defined as either hourly or kilometres. You can define an early warning interval for each dimension. Once an Interval for either dimension has been reached the equipment will automatically be flagged as due for maintenance.
Getting Started
Before you start using Upvise for Equipment maintenance, there is some configuration required to get you started.
Equipment and Equipment Categories sync from the workbench plant module.
You can maintain plant categories in Upvise to manage and define the utilisation and maintenance intervals of each individual category.

Pre-Starts:
For Upvise Maintenance to work effectively for your business, it is heavily dependant on pre-starts being completed daily (frequently) so that the data entered by your operators, updates the utilisation on the plant item and accurately generates alerts for your plant department to manage.

Workbench has a few standard prestart templates to start you off when we install your site.
The prestart checklists are designed to capture the condition of the equipment before operationing the vehicle to ensure that it’s safe to operate and any non-critical defects are captured as the operator completes the assessment. Defects are captured on the form via Punch items, see forms for more information regarding how punch items are configured in your template. We recommend you review your pre-start forms when you are configuring your system to ensure that critical information, and information unique to your business operations is captured. |

Managing Punch Items:
You can use punch items to assign to mechanics or plant managers responsible for maintaining equipment. Punch Items can be used as a method to simply record when something as a defect and when the defect is resolved, alternatively you can use punch items in conjunction with other more complex Upvise function to schedule repairs (Upvise Jobs for example). Upon fixing the defect or scheduling a repair, complete the punch item.

Equipment Maintenance:
Equipment maintenance and servicing can be managed differently depending on your business’s needs and structure. Once a piece of equipment is due for maintenance, Upvise will alert you. You can use a combination of Servicing forms, Repair Request forms, punch items and Jobs to manage the works on your plant item.

Workbench has a two standard Servicing templates to start you off when we install your site.
The Servicing forms are designed to be filled in once your equipment is due for maintenance based on the servicing intervals you configured earlier. Upon submission of the form, the utilisation on the Equipment will be updated based on the “Kms/Hrs” entered on the form at the time of the service. |

Workbench has developed a utility to quickly access service history reports from your equipment. This is useful for maintenance history for external maintenance works, or to produce service records when being audited. You can find the “Service History” option on your individual equipment items in Upvise on the web.  When clicking on the “Service History” button, you will see a summary of equipment service records for that equipment item.  This is a view of the following:
If the abovementioned fields do not exist, have a different label or have been left blank, you will not see data in this view. You can use the “Service History PDF” button to extract a PDF report of your service records   |
